“There once was a Velveteen Rabbit, and in the beginning, he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a Rabbit should be; and for at least an hour the Boy loved him”.

Hoe speelgoed regtig-egtig word is a brand-new theatre script from the pen of Karen Combrinck based on Margery Williams’ beloved tale of the Velveteen Rabbit.  The production tells the tale of a shy toy rabbit who wants nothing more than becoming real.  One day the toy rabbit ends up on a heap of Christmas gifts.  Along with the other toys, old and new, the velveteen rabbit goes on a journey of discovery during which he realizes that it is not what you can do or what you look like that matters, but that being loved by someone else makes you real. 

DeBeer Cloete (Bunnicula, Lyle the Crocodile and A monster under the bed) directs this production that showcases the talents of the second-year drama and theatre arts students. 

The production opens on Wednesday 19 September at the Rehearsal Room at the Scaena Theatre Complex on the UFS campus. 

Tickets are available through Computicket and are priced between R20 and R25. 

Showtimes are as follow:  19 - 21 September 11:00, 21 September 18:00 and 22 September 10:00 and 12:00.

PRESS RELEASE

The horrible western tempest, known for blowing aunties dresses in the air and exposing old men’s bald spots, blows Dorothy to the centre of Oz. For her to return back home she’ll have to visit the wonderful wizard of Oz. He is unbelievably mysterious, wonderfully indescribable, almightily magical and also the only one that will be able to send Dorothy back home. Joining her is the smart Scarecrow, looking for a brain, the lovable Tinman, desiring a heart and the brave Lion, looking for courage. What follows is an unforgettably exciting adventure through the fun and sad, the good and the bad, the bright, the dark, the friendly and the colourful Oz

Second Year Drama students, directed by Walter Strydom (known for the Boer Manie-fame) and Fiësta nominated Marli van der Bijl (Sêra Sakboude and Liewe Heksie), will take children of all ages on an unforgettable journey through Karen Combrinck’s fresh Afrikaans adaptation of the classical Oz. Follow Dorothy on the Yellow-brick-road, think along with the Scarecrow, sympathize with the Tinman and be brave along with the Lion to be victorious against the Wicked Witch of the West.
